Has anybody gotten SPFPRO to run on Windows 8.1 (oreven 8.0, for that
matter)?Looks like I'll have to give up one of my favorite tools.Kind

Well, first I simply copied over the directory containing the
program files to my new system. I set up the program properties
to run in compatibilty mode for Win XP SP 3. When I launch the
progam I get two phenomema:
1) I get prompted if it's OK for this program to make
changes to this computer - I reply Yes
2) then I get a system error that the program can't
start because SPW32DM.DLL is missing from the
computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the
problem
[Note: all the DLLs are in the directory containing
all the SPFPRO files]
-----------------------
Now, I have not been successful running any install program
from this directory; there are very few candidates:
PATCH.EXE
PDSUTIL.EXE
PRFUPGDW.EXE
SETUP.EXE
SPFECHO.EXE
Spfpro.exe
SPW32THK.EXE
UPG50.EXE
UPGRADE.BAT
VOL.EXE
When I try any of these (except Spfpro.exe which is described
above) I get "This App can't run on your PC"
--------------------------
I notice the properties for the icon I use to launch Spfpro.exe
says the program is located in C:\Users\SteveComstock\Desktop
but I actually put everything in C:\SPFPRO, so that's a mystery.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
-Steve
